Count me in for the Blue Team.
Russian, 730 GMAT, 4.9/5.0 GPA from a top Russian University, 7 y.w.o at matriculation in supply chain management, currently with a Fortune 100 company (healthcare). No stellar extracurs and mediocre interview.
And... it's a Ding for me.
Dang, it sucks when a fellow GMATClubber gets dinged. All the best for Wharton, man, you defn. got the stuff for them.
Thanks batchgmat!
Yes, it sucks to be dinged, but life goes on and I still have hopes for Chicago and Wharton. Well, if I am not a good fit for Kellogg, so be it. Means, I wouldn't enjoy going there anyway
shoot i feel bad......... 730 GMAT and not even waitlisted.... god what more they want from you? Top GPA too? From Russia... I wonder what went wrong.. when do you get a chance to speak with them and find out how to improve for next year or what to work on?
I will seek an opportunity to inquire with the school regarding the reasons for this decision. If I ever find out anything (though I am not optimistic about the chances of this) I will definitely make a report here. So far I can only guess... And, judging from the stats on admissions411, I am far from being the applicant with the highest GMAT score to be dinged...

That's too bad Helg. Your stats are definitely top notch. Do you have any feel as to the reason? I remember reading your report on your interview - do you think that could have been the problem?
With regards to this thread, unfortunately I will not be joining the fun. I decided to skip Kellogg. I think it's a really great school though so I wish everyone who is applying good luck.
The interview might be one reason. As I said earlier in my report on the interview, I wouldn't be surprised if the alumnus feedback were either negative or positive. Kellogg interview was the hardest of the three for me, both in terms of questions asked and of interviewer's attitude.
Also, it seems to me that Kellogg pays a lot of attention to applicant's extracurs, and mine are not so stellar.
